Answer:
When an Instrument is created, It gets put into a musical family based on how it is played. If you wanted to make a rubber band an instrument it would most likely be in the string family. If you were to create a new instrument that doesn't use strings, air, force, buzzing air or anything that is used in existing instruments, you would have made a new family.
Explanation:
There are five main instrument families: strings, woodwind, brass, keyboards, and percussion. Musical instruments are grouped into families based on how they make sounds. In an orchestra, musicians sit together in these family groupings. But not every instrument fits neatly into a group. For example, the piano has strings that vibrate, and hammers that strike.
